Fabulous Tag Book with Laurie Schmidlin

Hi there! Today, I have a fun little project to share with you using some of my most favorite products! A bit of a warning though...this is one long post with lots of pictures! So grab a cup of your favorite beverage, sit back, and enjoy! :-)
I've had this Afternoon Muse Album for a little while now, and have been wanting to create a little tag book with it. Admittedly, I do not scrapbook (although I keep telling myself one of these days I will try it) but these albums are the perfect size for so many projects and are not limited to only photos!
Here's a close-up of the cover. I used some Cream Teeny Alpha Stickers along with a Glitzer to create the focal image.
There are three (two-sided) pages included with the album as well as a front and back cover. I just stitched on some vellum pockets to the bottom of each page to hold all of the tags/cards.
This first tag is not a typical tag in the sense it doesn't have a string/ribbon at the top. I thought the recipient could either add one or use it as a gift card.
Don't you just LOVE the Afternoon Muse products? I absolutely adore them! Every page, tag, and card in this album was created using products from that collection!
For this tag, I started with some patterned paper, stamped the hot air balloon, and then added some Glitzers and a cardstock sticker!
This one is probably my favorite! I love the mix of fun colors and patterns! :-)
This is actually a mini card and not a tag. I actually use mini cards as tags all the time, so however the recipient chooses to use it will work great! :-)
With all of the products available (Cardstock Stickers, Alphabet Stickers, Glitzers, Whatnots, etc.) these tags and cards came together SO quickly! I love that!
For this tag, I started with a Whatnot and then added on some Cardstock Stickers and rhinestones!
This pocket contains a mini card and matching envelope (decorated to match of course)!
My heart goes pitter patter every time I see Glitzers! Gorgeous vintage stickers with rhinestones built in...it doesn't get any better than that!!
This is a pictures of the other side of the envelope. I used a Whatnot and adhered it at a slant.
For the mini card, I started with some patterned paper, then added a whatnot (with a Glitzer added in for good measure :-) and a stamped sentiment!
Mmm, how I love these colors!
For this final tag, I used some patterned paper, cardstock stickers, Glitzers, and some fun embellishments!
Well, that's all from me today!
